Exceptional value for money

What a great cruise this was. We were expecting very little from the included “snacks” - we each received a grazing platter that would easily feed 2-3 people! Everything about this cruise was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Great way to see a Darwin sunset

The graze platter was huge! Sunset amazing! The only fault was the drink service was very slow and you may share a table with others

Superb Sunset & Moonrise. Special dietary needs taken seriously and well catered for.

More and more hospitality venues and tourism operators are taking the care and the extra step to understand and ensure guests' dietary needs are taken into consideration. Having a severe food allergy (not an intolerance or lifestyle food choice) it was pleasing to be greeted by the Captain of the MV Charles Darwin who personally recognised the important of getting this right. With peace of mind, were were treated to a wonderful evening with a pearler of a sunset and a full moon rising over Darwin. Attentive staff and a relaxed setting made the experience memorable. Only one suggestion - the music was conducive to the setting but a bit on the loud side over dinner.

You must go!

A great experience on a balmy Darwin evening. The staff were exceptional, always friendly, attentive and efficient. The platters were very generous servings with many assorted delicacies, the background music was so relaxing and the sunset spectacular. A wonderful way to see Darwin on our first night there.
